Westminster and the Thames — DXF + STL

Westminster either side of the Thames. England is one of the few places outside the US with a national 1 m lidar programme wired in, so this region gets a genuinely high-resolution bare-earth surface despite very little relief to show for it.

What to expect here
- Environment Agency LIDAR DTM at 1 m is tried first — the highest-resolution non-US terrain in this catalogue.
- The Thames runs through the region, so the export carries a large water polygon and both embankments.
- Low, irregular historic massing rather than a tower cluster; good for site-context models at 1:1000 or finer.
Where the data comes from
Terrain sources are tried in order and the first one that actually covers the region wins, so the resolution you get depends on what has been flown here:
- 1 Environment Agency LIDAR DTM 1 m
- 2 NASADEM 30 m
- 3 Copernicus DEM GLO-30 30 m
Buildings, roads, water and landuse come from Overture Maps, which is global and openly licensed. Building heights are used where the source has them.
